The Village

You head down into Moseley and find yourself at a restaurant that doesn't shout about itself. The Village is exactly what its name suggests—unpretentious, welcoming, the sort of spot where regulars know the staff by name and newcomers immediately feel like they belong. The cooking is straightforward but done with care: expect seasonal British plates and Mediterranean influences that don't feel forced. It's the sort of place you go back to because the food's honest and you actually want to sit there.
